On the August Bed Writing


August, is sickness your partner?
You strapped me on this indifferent bed
And killed the best part of everyone.
And now that your end is closer
I still got no one

Lying beside me.

August, is death your partner?
Will he get me before Mom comes back?
Auntie is checking on me
Making sure I am safe sound and sober.
When will I be free
From your indifferent power?

My tears are boiling
And my breath, burning.
The tiger is banging again and again
And again. When will it stop
Running in my little head?
Will it keep doing
What its doing
Until I'm dead?
